Dak Prescott Hand Injury: QB Says He's Fine After Taking Cleat to Throwing Hand

Dak Prescott says he's fine after taking a cleat to his right hand in the second half of Cowboys vs. Texans.

By Cole Hartwell

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott downplayed a right hand injury after Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans. Prescott had his right hand wrapped but told reporters he feels “fine,” according to Calvin Watkins.

What happened

Prescott took a cleat to his throwing hand during the second half, according to Nick Harris via Underdog NFL. When asked about it after the game, he said he was “fine.” The injury occurred in Dallas’ win over Houston.

Context

Prescott has been a workhorse for the Cowboys this season, playing 100% of snaps through three weeks. He ranks among the league leaders in passing yards (730) and touchdowns (7) to start the year, with a Week 2 explosion of 279 yards and four scores.

What’s next

The Cowboys have not announced any change to Prescott’s status. He is not listed with an injury designation, and the team has not indicated he will miss time. Prescott’s own assessment was that the injury is not serious.

Dak Prescott has his right hand wrapped but seems "fine," per @calvinwatkins.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Treat this as good news. Prescott said he’s fine, and he played through the issue after it occurred. With no injury designation, he should be considered a high-end QB1 for Week 4 against the Commanders. His Week 4 projection of 18.3 PPR points is modest, but his 2026 sample (7 TDs in 3 games) suggests upside. Continue starting him as usual. If you have a strong backup like Jayden Daniels or Jalen Hurts, you might consider them in a tough matchup, but Prescott’s volume and track record keep him in lineups. Monitor practice reports this week for any unexpected setbacks, but there’s no need to add a QB yet.
